Fences History

October 2009

Stardock released the 1.0 version of the highly anticipated Fences for Windows PCs. The 1.0 version was free and offered users the ability to organize and customize the way their desktop icons and folders were displayed by allowing users to "draw" labeled shaded areas on the desktop, which become movable and resizable containers for any desktop icon.

December 2009

Stardock releases Fences Pro as a follow-up to the freeware version released a few months before. Fences Pro adds a number of compelling new features to give users more control over their desktop icons. These features include:

• Having a default fence automatically pick up new icons as they get added to your desktop
• Automatically organize icons by file type, name, size and more
• Have fences and their contents be semi-transparent until mouse-over.

October 2012

Fences 2.0 was made available after a beta period with Object Desktop members. Fences 2.0 was consolidated into one version and offered several new features including:

• Folder Portals: View and organize the contents of any folder as a fence on your desktop.
• Desktop Pages: Multiple pages of Fences accessed via mouse swipe.
